Automatism
Automatism involves crafting artwork without deliberate thought, tapping into the reservoir of the unconscious mind.
The term ‘automatism’ is adopted from physiology, where it denotes bodily actions that occur without conscious control, such as breathing or sleepwalking. Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud employed techniques like free association and automatic drawing or writing to delve into the unconscious thoughts of his patients.

Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
